' ;1 ; \ jrr ' ......,.......,.... . , Yes, "below decks" at the St. Regis is another world that guests hardly expect and rarely see. A world teeming with activity or alert for action-a world which assures that life at the S1. Regis goes on- ever so smoothly. - Step down to our basement and you would find a fully equipped electrical shop with a staff who can arrange the lighting of your room as skiIfuIIy as they handle the lights for the fa- mous Iridium Room. A cabinetry shop whose maestro can-and does-turn a splat with the skill of a Hepple white. He mothers the many collec. tors' pieces that add charm and distinction to our rooms. A plumbing shop, a carpentry shop, a sheet mptal shop-and, of course, a huge modern laundry, where your finest silks and linens are laundered to perfection by hand. These are a few of the hidden services of a great hotel. And because they- like the service upstairs-are per- formed with exceptional skill by ex- ceptional people, we believe that you will continue to find life at the St. Regis completely delightful. THJ:StReg 15 FIFTH AVE. AT 55th STREET · NEW YORK BOOKLET ON REQUEST .k Be So Nice to Come Home To," a Cole Porter song from the film "Some- thing to Shout About," and "Man- hattan Serenade," Lou Alter's instru- mental number which has lately shown a tendency to turn torch ballad. Both are mood pieces with warm melodies, which makes them just right for Miss Shore, and neither is too rangy, which does ditto. The singer gets excellen t sup- port from an orchestra under the direc- tion of Paul \Vetstein, and the record- ings are mechanically first rate. B y way of contrast to Miss Shore's straightforward singing, you might care to listen to a new record (Capitol 122) on which Johnny Mercer, a lyric- writer who has taken to song, does a rather snorty, raucous job on "I Lost My Sugar in Salt Lake City" and "The "\Treck of the Old '97," with the help of Freddie Slack's orchestra. Mr. Mer- cer would prooahly be the last person in the worlJ to claim much for his voice, which has its bleaty aspects reminiscent of Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller, but it isn't the Mercer voice that gives him character as a singer; instead, it's the way he has of putting over a phrase by means of some unusual twist or ac- cent. "1 Lost My Sugar in Salt Lake City" is a blues number, and the piece about the wreck is, as YOll might sus- pect, one of those hard-driving, old- time narratives, which the band helps a lot to put across. Incidentally, the sup- pI y of Capitol records seems to be some- what skimpy in these parts (they're made in California), but your dealer can usually get hold of them for you if you give him time. T HERE is a better-than-usual selec- tion of dance performances to choose from this trip, and the following list is fairly representative of the output.
